I hope it goes well for you. Hopefully you'll be able to tolerate the 20% reduction. Since Prozac has such a long half-life, any symptoms could take awhile to manifest themselves. Slow and steady wins the race!

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 16.64 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Synthroid - 25 mcg

Thanks. I expect not a single problem, at such a cut, most likely. My nervous system is in condition that almost but not quite allows for a day full of work, after which I need to take rest.
